Langtons Restaurant Kilkenny

While food and service is excellent, it will be hard to beat this place on price 😉 in this economy.

We visited this tea room with high hopes — hoping to have a lovely time and enjoy some nice desserts.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointment. All the desserts were far too sweet.
The cakes had a heavy buttercream, which I really didn’t enjoy.
The Pavlova dessert had an overbaked, dry meringue.
Overall, it just wasn’t worth the money

Ps. The second and third photos show how the Pavlova roulade dessert is supposed to look in reality! It’s a delicate, soft meringue, filled with a creamy filling and fruits or berries. Everything comes together as one, not a dry meringue that crumbles on your plate with just a bit of cream.

This afternoon tea was not a good experience. This was not at all the product advertised online, on Google or on the Langton website. What a disappointment, and a waste of money. We were first accommodated on the terrasse, which was noisy (loud music) and not well-kept. Being too hot, we migrated inside. The place was untidy, with one table still covered in the remains of previous customers. We were served triangle sandwiches, which seemed weird but an afternoon tea comprising sandwiches we didn’t question it, to have them removed from us a few minutes later because they were not intended for us. What became of our nibbled sandwiches I don’t want to know, for I’m not sure the waiter went back in the kitchen… The sandwiches we received were the tiniest I ever had, and not tasty, savory and sweet for the majority of them. I wonder. Too many pastries, and not tasty, especially the macaroon. And the scone!! Cinnamon in it! The gluten-free one was inedible. Two persons asked for green tea, and the other for jasmine tea. The 2 green teas arrived and we had to ask again and again for the jasmine tea. In the end, the waitress told us they were out of stock and the person ordered a green tea instead. She received mint tea 🫩 It turned out the waitress couldn’t find green tea and we had to wait and wait yet again. We had to ask twice for whipped cream and strawberry jam, -and I’m sure we would have never received them had we not asked for them— which arrived in tiny quantity for three people. Hopefully we didn’t need them for the scones were bad. All in all, even the quality of the tea was poor. In the end, we were utterly disappointed by everything, service, environment, quality of the food. And the price! For that! What a rip off.
